i wrote a daemonized twitterbot in Ruby a couple of weeks ago to scan posts for key words and respond to relevant ones with "that's what she said"... sort of on the same lines, I guess.
It's a nerd-friendly example about questioning assumptions which GP is using to illustrate his point... about questioning assumptions, which is what the GOA report seems to be doing.
Get a copy of Jane's aircraft guide and some of those silhouette flashcard that fighter pilots use to train. If it's not in the book or on the card, it's not a bird/bug/bat, and it flies, it's a UFO by definition.
Are they singled out? Really? I mean, you can't use the Java on the platform either. I haven't read the developer agreement in question, so I don't know for sure, but does it actually say you can't use Adobe stuff in particular? I somehow doubt that.
Maybe under the EU, but Apple isn't a monopoly as far as my understanding of US law, and therefor anti-trust laws don't apply here. Plus, Adobe and Apple are both US-based companies. Can they even sue in an EU court?
What exactly are they going to sue them for? Is there a law that says a company has to allow another company's product to interact with theirs? I mean, sure, its generally considered good form to do so, but its hardly required. Of course, rising popularity of iPhone/iPod Touch/possibly the iPad as well, none of which run Flash, means that there will be less demand to use Flash, and therefore Adobe will be able to sell fewer Flash dev kits. Well, frankly, too bad. Adobe makes some good stuff, and is probably largely responsible for the success of the Mac, but as Apple moves more towards the mobile space, they don't really need Adobe as much as they used to anymore. But, as Apple continues to push the market space away from the desktop, Adobe may need Apple more than ever.
it's a legal-esque term that nerds like to throw around whenever it sounds relevant without really knowing what it means, sort of like 'safe harbor' actually meaning "if you stick to the rules in t1.678, t1.ias, or other formats specified by calea, you can't lose your license to be the phone company for failing to procure the data we have a warrant for" and not something like its more Nautical implications.
http://www.blockbycountry.com/ can give you the list, though it'll come in the form of an htaccess block list that'll generate for you. Short work to convert it into a list of apf rules, though. But, as you are aware, this still won't protect against most-specific route advertisements to BGP peers.
there is also a general tendency to confuse "the government" with "the state" here. when the of the world says government, they tend to mean what we refer to as "administration". subtle, yet profound, differences.
in a lot of party preference systems, you vote for the party, not the candidate -- ie, you're voting for the platform, not the person. the party then picks the person who is to be seated, and then they interface with constituents and actually cast the ballot. they're then beholden to the party, and the party is beholden to the constituents.
Due to the more generally accepted sexual meaning of the term, it is currently being used as a pejorative term against the so-called "tea party" activists on the right in the U.S.
Or even better, fit each car with a cellular phone jammer that kicks in when the car starts, so you have no way of making a call while driving. Fit the car with a "panic" button which makes a call to 911 and transmits GPS coordinates, so if you have an actual emergency you're covered, but have to pull over to send all your lulz and omgs to your bffjill.
Yeah, a lot of Democratic leaders are total schmucks as well. I just don't have personal experience with them directly. I met Obama briefly at one point and he seemed OK. I did vote for him, and I voted for Warner for Senate here in VA, though I voted for a Republican for Congress, because I'd met him a few times, felt him out (not up), and figured he was OK. But let us just put aside the leaders for a minute and say that I seriously doubt members of Congress are responsible for acts of domestic terrorism by the "tea party" Anarchists, on principal, would need to be against this bill as well, but they're not the ones (by and large) calling in death threats, taking shots at congressmen's district offices, etc. Although, the congress critters really aren't helping things at all with their over-the-top and, frankly, irresponsible rhetoric.
Yes, they can sell to themselves, which is a closed population, which has demographic policies which ensure that they're going to have more old people than anything else in the mid-term, and those old people aren't really going to be productive. The only way capitalism works is if it can keep growing, which means that they have to start expanding into new markets, if possible -- otherwise, the system chokes on itself. It doesn't work closed in, just the same as Communism -- it wouldn't really work in just one country. In the 19th century, this brought us imperialism. In the 20th century, it brought us two world wars, followed by the cold war. If the rest of the world just stopped buying China's crap and kept trading with each other, freezing them out, we'd do a whole lot better than they would.
I cam across this recently, which I found to be pretty interesting. In part of his discussion, Alan Kay talks about an elementary-level school in California where children are taught by doing, using visual/kenetic activities whereby they can learn advanced concepts without having to have their brains formed towards symbolic manipulation yet. Frankly, the lessons I learned in my younger days, or things which I repeatedly DO are the ones that stick with me, and I think this is true for a lot of people. Maybe we should stick with that mold for a longer stretch in school, kind of like solving integrals with paper strips or whatever.
We don't need China. It's just nice to have cheap stuff, and they make stuff cheap. If no one was buying, they couldn't sell. Its kind of like economic mutally-assured destruction. Despite what the Reaganites may want us to believe, demand still has just as much power as supply.
I used to be a paid functionary of the "conservative" movement. I use the term paid loosely, though, because I made shit for money and no benefits, but was forced to write propaganda against health care reform, even back in 2007. Most of these high-profile people against health care reform, I've met. Eric Cantor, for instance, I've met on several occasions. My hatred for the movement is largely to do with my own shame in having been part of that side of the aisle and actively working against my own interest, as well as that of many, many others of my countrymen. I'm sorry for all the crap that I helped do, but I learned my lesson, left and went on to other things. Maybe hate against movment members on the streets isn't warrented like it is against the party leaders, but I feel really, really bad for them that they either can't or won't realize that they're being manipulated to work against their own interests by the rich and powerful who serve as their puppet masters.
I don't even see how this can be dignified as "hacking" -- it's not even "script kiddy" in its complexity. If this weren't the President then I doubt it would even be news at all. But is the account even actually Obama's in the sense of, he actually takes the time to post on it himself? Doesn't he have a country to run or something?

no, it sounds like not being racist is a genetic disorder according to this. of course, i'm too lazy to actually read the article.

If that is how "insurgents" carry on - I'm honestly surprised we haven't wiped them out quicker than this.
They tend to grow back.

Yeah, not being able to afford free would look pretty lame.
Justice is an eye for an eye. The law isn't about justice, though.

Wow... always knew that he was a fascist communist from central Asia. Everything is coming together now! (i hate teabaggers)
Having a large toolbox has worked quite well in my career.
